What a Goal!
Posted by Zane | Filed under Uncategorized
While MLS Cup 2008 wasn’t the most exciting game I’ve ever seen, I’m glad I kept watching just to see this goal from Frankie Hejduk in the 82nd minute.
Admittedly, this goal was the most exciting part of the match for me. The Columbus crew largely dominated the New York Red Bulls for the majority of the game and showed why they were the best team in the regular season this year.
The Crew beat the Red Bulls 3-1 in regulation in a game that featured a number of milestones for Major League Soccer.
- Neither the Columbus Crew nor the New York Red Bulls had previously won an MLS Cup.
- Columbus Crew Head Coach Sigi Schmid posted his second MLS Cup Title and became the first coach to earn MLS Cup Championships with different teams.
- League and MLS Cup MVP Guillermo Barros Schelotto recorded an MLS Cup record three assists
All in all a great end to a great year of MLS soccer.
